What if Operation Valkyrie was a success?

What if Operation Valkyrie was a success?

Here I would not write operation "Valkyrie" itself. I would think about what kind of influence that attentate was and what could happen if the "Valkyrie-plan" what is the name of the famous attentate against Adolph Hitler would be a success. Today is 75 years from the famous 20. July 1944 attentate against Adolph Hitler. And still on the air hovers the question "what if the attentate was a success"?

 Was the rule of Nazi Germany turned to the hands of Heirich Himmler or Wilhelm Keitel? Or could those men try to make peace with the Western allies?  Or could the German military fight longer, if Adolph Hitler was dead? Those questions have been asked about this case, what has been filmed as "Operation Valkyrie".

Those questions are good to think even today when it takes 75 years from the case when  Colonel Carl von Stauffenberg carried a bomb in the headquarters of Adolph Hitler. And here we must realize, that this attentate might be a success if that turned Hitler straight to madness, where he couldn't make decisions, and other personnel of his staff continued to follow that madman orders. That thing can cause more damages that the successful assassination could ever cause.

Romans said that the war was a too important thing, that they could leave it for soldiers alone. That means that soldiers need political control, to accomplish their mission for defending the nation. 

The mental problems of Adolph Hitler caused that German military faced many casualties, and people dare not to tell that something was wrong because failure meant death. When we are thinking the position of Von Stauffenberg and military men in that time, their mission was to follow orders. And that is the thing, what we must realize when we are thinking about the motives of Stauffenberg. Maybe the death of Hitler would not change a thing in that nation.

The thing is that also modern military men must follow their rules and that thing makes persons like Hitler a little bit complicated to those people, who are working in the military forces around the world. The question is always should they follow also the orders, what are given by the madman. There are no clear answers to that kind of questions.

The thing is that the military forces must operate under political control and the main role of those organizations is to defend their homelands. And in the cases of dictators, there is a danger that the leader of the state would be replaced by another one, who continues the same policy. But this is a very interesting way of think about the plan, what could change history.

The question, what hovers in the air is would that assassination change the situation better or worse. Would the persecutions continue after the attentate? Or would the leader of the state turn to hands of people like Himmler and Kaltenbrunner, who could be even worse than Hitler himself? Here I didn't write about the operation itself, because there is so much material about that case in the net.

How to locate the underground structure?

How to locate the underground structure?

The best way to locate the hidden bunker from underground is to use the seismic sensors or SONAR-based system. In those cases on the ground would be dropped the sensors and on the area around those sensors is dropped the bombs, what would send the seismic waves through the ground. The differences between the waves, what were traveled in the normal ground and the seismic waves, what was traveling through the bunker can be detected by using those sensors.

Another way is to use the small size quadcopters, which are equipped with SONAR system, and when the system would send the sound to the ground, it can locate the command bunker. Another way is to use explosives to sending those SONAR waves. In this case in the middle of the quadcopters would drop the explosives, and they can detect the target.

Sometimes the SONARS are adjusting to the frequency, what makes resonance to the concrete, and this is hoped to weaken the concrete structure of the bunkers. That will give more effect to the bunker buster bombs, what will send the seismic impulse to the underground bunker.

There is also radar-based systems but the problem is the resolution. Radar systems can detect the corridors because they are causing changes to the shape of the ground. Those systems are originally developed for oil industry searching the black gold''


What is the bunker buster bomb? (This is writing about non-nuclear bunker buster bombs)

When we are talking about bunker buster bombs, the systems would normally use high-power explosives like RDX or HMX, and those explosives are more effective in the bunker buster bombs than FAE (Thermobaric) warheads. The thing is that the principle of the bunker buster bomb is that the bomb will explode underground.

That means that the structure of the bomb must stand the impact. FAE bombs are effective against large area targets and the corridor, where the blast effect can travel without resistance.  But if there is not straight corridor at the front of the bunker, the air burst will be ineffective against the bunkers, what are behind the weaving corridor.

But if the bunker is behind the long corridors the bunker buster weapon must penetrate in the ground for giving the shockwave, what will detonate the bunker. Sometimes there is a small layer of concrete in those bombs for causing the resonance effect, what is hoped to break the concrete more effectively.

The structure of the FAE bomb would not stand the impact, and that is the reason, why those bombs are normally equipped with RDX or other solid explosive, or there will shoot multiple missiles in the same point, where those missiles would dig the hole to the command bunker.
